Delete layer marker with specific comment

[Dan Ebberts]

I was surprised to find that removeKey() doesn’t accept markerComment as an index, so I guess you have to do it the brute force way:

var myProp = app.project.activeItem.layer(1).property("Marker");
for (var i = 1; i <= myProp.numKeys; i++){
	if (myProp.keyValue(i).comment == "test"){
		myProp.removeKey(i);
		break;
	}
}

Thanks, Dan. I gave it a go and it doesn’t remove the key. I’m not getting an error message either.

It worked for me. It wouldn’t give an error if it didn’t find a marker with your comment (you did change that from “test”, yes?)

[Kevin Snyder]

Okay, it’s working. I just changed it to run on the selected layer. Thank you.

This is probably better:

var myProp = app.project.activeItem.layer(1).property("Marker");
try{
	var t = myProp.keyTime("test");
	var myKey = myProp.nearestKeyIndex(t);
	myProp.removeKey(myKey);
}catch(e){
}

Thanks, Dan. I really appreciate it.
